Adobe Photoshop is one of the most powerful image-editing applications ever created, but it is also widely thought to be difficult to learn, infinite in scope, and nearly impossible to master. For these reasons, many photographers choose to stay exclusively with Lightroom for all their photography needs. But for those photographers who subscribe to the Adobe Creative Cloud Photography plan?which includes both Lightroom and Photoshop?to leave Photoshop unopened and unexplored is to deny yourself the ability to take your creativity and expression to a whole new level.
